The correct spelling is JON - the first author profile got it wrong.

Nathan Sudds (nathansudds) | 14 comments Anthony Robbins is listed as an official GR author
/author/show...

But Tony Robbins is also listed separately, some books are attributed to Anthony Robbins but have a second Edition in Tony
/author/show...


Discovered this because I was surprised his new book "Money Master the Game" has no ratings or reviews... then realized the one under Anthony Robbins was the one with all the right info.
Thanks!

Roxi Hewertson | 2 comments Hi there, I'm hoping you can merge the following author profile into mine: /author/show...

There is an edition of my book listed under this other author name and I'd like to link them correctly.

Here is my correct author profile: /author/show...

Thanks!

This is the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ policy on author names containing initials: http://www.goodreads.com/help/show/60...

Reminder: please do not merge author names in different languages. /help/show/2...
Authors with books published in multiple languages should have their names dealt with similarly to those with pen names. All editions should have the primary author name as the standard or most common Roman (that is, English-language) version of the author's name. Editions published under another spelling of the name or the name in another language should have that name listed as the secondary author. Different editions of a book not having the same primary author can cause quite a few distinct problems. Please keep the primary author for all editions of a work the same.


Also, this is the wrong thread. If you need help with this issue, please start a new thread in this folder.

Not all books on the unclaimed page belong to the Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author. The ones that do should be individually edited, which can be done by any librarian. Start a new thread in this folder if you need assistance.

Philip (burnnerman) | 5912 comments There is a fan.

Not sure which author it should be combined with. I would think the first author.

Joel Eisenberg and Steve Hillard

It looks like the wrong profile was merged. Can you have all the books go under "Roxi" and not Roxana? Here are the books/profiles, please switch everything to Roxi as that is the profile I originally claimed:

Thanks!

message 485: by Emma (new)

Emma Rose (emmaroseromance) | 4 comments I'm a Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ Author and have had issues with books that I haven't authored (but published by someone with the same pen name, Emma Rose) showing up under my "Books by Emma Rose" list.

/author/list...

Another use, Philip, suggested that I post here to request that two spaces be added between my first and last name, Emma Rose, so that the books can be removed and not be automatically repopulated.

Thank you so much!

Emma Rose

Hi,

On my author's profile, it is
E.J. Benard instead of EJ Benard. Can someone change it for me please. No periods after EJ.

/author/show...

Alex | 2736 comments Re: #509

I'm sorry, to avoid confusion and ensure uniformity, there is very strict policy on the way names are written on GoodReads, and it states that names with multiple initials in them should not have any spaces between them and should each be followed by a period. Your profile name is written in accordance with that policy and thus will not be changed.
